Another thought: I saw the city truck picking up trash from the curb receptacles this morning in the Old Port. Since the city is already paying for the truck, transport and labor, public works should offer removal services to in-town businesses/restaurants and bars? That way they could generate some revenue to offset city costs.
And finally…many of the store fronts in the Old Port, and around town do not offer quarters to tourists and visitors to feed the parking meters. The city uses a parking officer to collect quarters (in a bucket) from all the meters in the morning. I assume that there is some labor cost to the city to process thousands of quarters. If the city installed curb side changes machines(obviously secure) the parking officer could recycle coins from the meters into the change machines for bills and tourists and visitors would have ready access to change to feed the meters.
